SHA-256 vs SHA-1 vs MD5

These three algorithms are often mentioned together, but only one is safe for security today. Here is the comparison.

Security status

MD5 and SHA-1 are broken for security: practical collision attacks exist, so they must not be used to protect anything. SHA-256 remains secure and is the current default.

When older hashes are still OK

MD5 and SHA-1 are fine as non-security checksums — detecting accidental corruption or as cache keys — where an attacker is not in the picture. For anything security-related, use SHA-256 or stronger.
